Jordan golden trail trekking tours itinerary highlights:

​The distance between Dana nature reserve and Wadi Rum for most of the trekking tours varies from 150 to 200 km's depending on the chosen trail, the entire trail from Dana Nature reserve to Wadi Rum can be divided into four parts:

​

From Dana Nature Reserve to Petra: it would take 4 - 5 trekking days, depending on the season; itineraries might go through the mountains to Petra during the warm season, or down to the rift valley through the Arava during the coldest months then climbing to Petra again

Petra old city:most of the travelers would need extra one or two free days to explore the monument s of Petra before going further to the south

From Petra to Wadi Rum: usually it takes 3 – 4 trekking days from Petra to Greganeh desert in the arava then going to the east toward Wadi Rum for full exhausting trekking day through Wadi Ahemr, when people get out of Wadi Ahemr they mostly take jeeps ride to Wadi Rum desert otherwise it's 2 extra days walking

Inside Wadi Rum:people can do climbing or just walking for a couple of days there, penetrate the desert from the very north to Aqaba in the south it's 4 days trekking, it's quiet difficult to do trekking here during the hot season​

Physical rate of the golden trail: moderate to mild difficult for most of age ranges, average distance of each day is 15 – 18 km's of hikingBest time of the year; any time is fine avoiding May, June, July, August and September since it's too hot then, any how it's still very possible to arrange treks from Dana to Petra in May and September avoiding the southern part in those two months, warm cloths should be always brought during October, November, December, January, February, March and April since that is the coldest period, tents as well are much recommended during the coldest period
